Families and Kids!

Trees Trail Challenge is a fun, family-friendly event with plenty of activities for the kids!

Fairy House Building

Trees Indiana presents Fairy House Building! Materials gathered from the forest floor - such as twigs, pine cones, bark and moss - will be used to allow kids to build fairy houses and imaginative structures while learning about the forest and trees. Suitable for kids and teens of all ages.

Kids Zone! 

NITRO presents Kids Zone! Kids Zone is a safe, guided, simulated mountain bike-style course using man-made bumbs and obstacles that allow kids to find out what mountain biking feels like without actually being on the trails. Bring your own bike and helmet - or use one provided on site as available. Suitable for kids up to 12.

2 Mile Fun Walk

The Trees Trail Challenge 2 mile course is ideal for adults and younger children alike who simply want to walk and explore the Franke trails and forest floor. Franke park is home to plentiful safe animals such as deer, raccoon, squirrels, chipmunks, red foxes, blue herons, owls and birds of all sorts. Plenty of safe logs and natural obstacles will make this a fun family-style hike for children of any age. The two-mile course (shared partially with the four-mile course) will feature signage allowing the course to be cut short is necessary for dropping energy levels or patience.
